York theatre to reopen after 18 month closure

It’s back! The Grand Opera House York is set to reopen next month after an 18 month closure due to the pandemic.

The pandemic has hit the entertainment industry hard, so it is wonderful to see another York theatre finally be able to open its doors again.

And it will be worth the wait – the Grand Opera House York will reopen on Monday 13 September with the frightfully fun The Woman in Black.

Performances will run from 13 to 18 September 2021 and will form part of the UK tour.

Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel tells the story of a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over his family by the spectre of a ‘Woman in Black’.

The Woman in Black is directed by Robin Herford, with designs by Michael Holt and lighting by Kevin Sleep.

It stars Robert Goodale as Arthur Kipps, who is returning to the role after having played the part during the 2019-20 tour of the show.

Robert’s other theatre credits include How To Act at the National Theatre of Scotland, Dr Faustus at Shakespeare’s Globe, multiple national tours with the Royal Shakespeare Company and much more.

Joining him will be Antony Eden as The Actor, who has performed on the West End in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Les Misérables, among many more credits.

Tickets start from £13 and can be purchased via the box office at 03330095399 or online here.

And the excitement at the Grand Opera House York doesn’t stop there. They have great shows and big names coming up such as comedy legends Simon Amstell and David Baddiel, and the hilarious The Play That Goes Wrong – and much more!
